Flint Mi. - It seemed like one of those games the puck did not want to go in for the East Avenue Blue, as the Rangers outshoot the Firebirds, but fall 4-1 losing for the first time in regulation on this five-game road trip.
Christian Humphreys cut the deficit to two with a power play goal in the third period, but that was the only goal the Rangers would get in the game. Mason Vaccari continued his strong play against the Rangers turning aside 32 shots.
